Although there is a mountain range of the same name in Libya, the name usually refers to the central part of the Hajar Mountains (with the highest peak at 3,101m) that run from northwest to southeast on the inland side of the Batinah coastal plain facing the Gulf of Oman. Al-Akhdar means "green" in Arabic. This vast plain, located at an altitude of about 2,000m, is the heart of Oman, and with an abundance of groundwater, many isolated villages live a self-sufficient life. The "isolation" characteristic of Omani society comes from this. There are barracks and an air force base in Saiq. [Asai Nobuo] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
リビアにも同名の山地があるが,通常はオマーン湾に面するバティナ海岸平野の内陸側を,北西から南東に走るハジャル山脈の中央部(最高峰は3101m)をさす。アフダルはアラビア語で〈緑〉を意味する。標高約2000mに位置する広大な平原は,オマーンの心臓部にあたり,地下水の豊富な場所で多くの村落が孤立して自給自足の生活を営む。オマーン社会の特性をなす〈孤立〉はここに由来する。サイクには兵営と空軍基地がある。【浅井 信雄】
